Subject: The One With Pascoa

Bom dia!
I hope you all are doing amazing and had such an amazing Easter yesterday :) We had some fun adventures this week, man do I love being a missionary! Let's get into the highlights:)

- Sister Scioli hit 17 months and we got McDonalds! We also of course got no pictures, sorry!
- This will make probably 0 sense to you guys but this week we got to see Irmão Amon and he cut his hair! I was literally shocked and he got a good laugh out of my reaction haha!
- We had such an amazing District Counsel this week! Of course we talked a lot about Easter and it was definitely one to remember:)
- We got to celebrate a less actives birthday this week too, Vivi Pino! She's the best and I love her! And of course her mom gave us the BIGGEST slices of cake I've ever seen haha!
- We had such a tender mercy with a referral from comeuntochrist.org and it was exactly what we needed in that moment, God is good :)
- We got ourselves an ovo de Páscoa (Easter egg Brasil style!) and let me tell you, it's not like the US haha!
- We got to chat with a woman this week and we got to bear testimony of The Book of Mormon and God's plan for us and it was so powerful :)
- I got to eat my very first ovo de Páscoa! Here plastic Easter eggs don't exist, they're chocolate and they're huge! I even got one with brownie filling and it was super yummy :) If in being honest, I still have some to eat haha!
- We had the BEST Easter Sunday! We were able to have a super special sacrament meeting and I hope you all had a great Easter Sunday :)
- I managed to curl my hair for the first time here in Brasil and let's just say that the humidity was not my friend haha! If you know Monica in mexico, you know ;)

Spiritual Thought
Of course with Easter this past week everyone has been thinking a little more of the Savior. As I thought about Him a little more I not only came to love Him more but I came to know that He really did BECOME our Savior. The gospel of Jesus Christ is a gospel of becoming, even Jesus Christ himself had to BECOME our Savior. How grateful I am to tell people about the good news that He is risen :)

You made it through another one! Woot woot! This next week my pday will be on Tuesday the 26th so I promise I'm not ignoring you if you send a message or email, my pday will just be the next day :) We get to go to the temple so you already know next weeks email will be a good one ;) Have the best week! Let me know what I can do for you!
Beijos,
Sister Garcia

Mom's Talk: Sunday, July 10, 2022

Good morning Brothers and Sisters. I am excited to be here with you this morning. Not because I up here speaking but because we are here to listen to Kaitlyn report on her mission which means she is actually home! Thank you all for being here and for the support you have shown her throughout her time away. I also want to say hello to Elder Garcia who is hopefully able to have good enough wi-fi to join us today in Africa.  When I posed the question to Kaitlyn who she wanted to have speak with her I knew deep down she wanted Brooklyn but I also knew that Brooklyn had told both missionaries that if either of them asked her to talk she would simply not come to church that day at all and she was fine to miss their homecomings. To be able to pull off a small surprise for Kaitlyn today with having B speak just makes my heart smile Tyler conveniently doesn't do the social media thing so she wasn't an option to ask and Christian is in Africa so that wouldn't be an option either. I s...

From: Kaitlyn.Garcia@missionary.org Date: Saturday, January 16, 2021 Subject: I have a new mom Oi todos!It's just little old me, Kaitlyn. Well now it's Sister Garcia ;) I'm officially a missionary, which is so crazy to think about! During the online MTC my Pdays are Saturdays so you can expect an update from me every Saturday for the next 6 weeks. The CTM has been amazing so far! :) If I'm being honest I was super nervous to start and I didn't really know what to expect from it, but I'm so glad I've been able to do my training at home. My schedule that I was sent was all in Brazil time and it said that most of my classes were to start at 8:30am. I don't know if any of you know this, but Brazil is 4 hours ahead of Utah, you can do that math, it was supposed to be early! Luckily it's been changed and now my classes don't start until 9:30am Utah time. They like to keep us busy that's for sure! I already have to memorize and learn cer...
